DL> If the checkpoint is done from the kernel, why the restart DL> wouldn't be in the kernel too ? I think thus far we have taken the approach of "if it can be done reasonably in userspace, then do it there" right? Setup of the network devices is easy to do in userspace, allows more flexibility from a policy standpoint, and ensures that all existing security checks are performed. Also, migration may be easier if the userspace bits can call custom hooks allowing for routing changes and other infrastructure-specific operations.
